about

Red is written in solidarity with all Mná of Ireland to #Repealthe8th

lyrics

Little Red goes out walking,
Crunching leaves beneath her feet,
Dappled sunlight through fingers,
How she loves just being one.

(The wolf he circles and snides behind her
the wolf is going to pounce
The wolf he circles and snides behind her
the wolf is going to pounce)

Attacks come from the outside

Murderer, murderer

You choose the path & you lead,
trust in your choice and believe

A dark stuffy bedroom,
Edges the door slowly in
Shadows lurk in the creases
Taste the wild on her tongue

Light falls on distortion

(What big ears you have,
What big eyes you have
What big nose & teeth
What big ears you have,
What big eyes you have
What big nose & teeth?

Mná, strong, trust
Mná, strong, trust
Mná, strong, trust
Le grá mná

Mná, strong, trust
Mná, strong, trust
Mná, strong, trust
Le grá mná

You choose the path & you lead,
trust in your choice and believe
You choose the path & you lead,
trust in your choice and believe

Washerwoman's song leads from a flurry of lace and fur
Snapping fierce dark water splashing
Taut sheet leads her to safety
Same sheet ensnares and drowns

(the wolf no longer snides beside her
The wolf will never pounce
the wolf no longer snides beside her
The wolf will never pounce)

Mná, strong, trust
Mná, strong, trust
Mná, strong, trust
Le grá mná
